"Fantastic family holiday at Lyttos Beach
We had a wonderful stay at Lyttos Beach. The hotel has excellent facilities, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. While it’s not a luxury resort, it’s absolutely perfect for families looking for plenty to do on vacation.
The sports facilities at the Lyttos Beach Sports Centre are world-class, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The hotel was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and clearly worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly.
We would definitely return and highly recommend it to families looking for an active, fun-filled holiday."
